Grudges you continue to hold

[OneFrenchEgg]

Just drive a different way home, past a car wash and remembered how I refuse to use it on principle 😂
Years ago, I was in a hurry and no one in front - as I drove in, and was being 'washed' by one of the chaps, the one in charge allowed someone to jump the queue as they were 'in a hurry' and 'just wanted a spritz' - nope, they reversed all the way back, had everything, and I sat fuming at the the queue jumpy enablement.
Refuse to go back, I'm sure they are disappointed 😂

@SinnerBoy No, not N.E, although the 'body' is national. It's more of a governing body, not a specific club. I wouldn't be a member of a club that espoused such nastiness.

I'm very sorry for your girl, but it sounds like you/she might actually have dodged a bullet- decent martial arts clubs wouldn't discriminate in such a way. McDojos do though- this might have been one of those.

Oh! Another one!

The woman who's CV I prevented being binned by my supervisor for it's mummy gap and she subsequently became my maternity cover - thanks to me. The backstabbing cunt schemed with said cunty supervisor to keep my job when I went back after maternity. Thankfully Management were pretty horrified so one went pretty much right away and the other was managed out later on.

I think she has dodged a bullet, she does Jiu Jitsu now.

When our Lollipop lady retired after 175 years service at our primary school the local paper came to take a picture of the children with her in front.

Right at the last second, David from my class (who was much taller) pushed in front of me and almost obscured me from view. The only bit of me you can see in the resultant newspaper article is my furious little 7 or 8 year old face all screwed up with my fist balled up below my chin.

My mother still has the article. And no David, I have never forgiven you you...pusher inner.

That was absolutely despicable. I'm so sorry - and equally appalled that those nuns obviously didn't know their bibles - what Jesus said about children and how He acted towards them.

My friend Vicky for surreptitiously copying my answer of ‘mouse’ at school when we were five, and had to complete the sentence ‘There was a ___.’ When I took my book up to the teacher’s desk, after Vicky took hers, the teacher loudly reprimanded me for copying. I can still feel the hot sting of my indignant tears.

We’re still in touch, though I haven’t seen her for a long time. One day I’ll get drunk and shout “MOUSE WAS MY IDEA” at her.

I’ve never met a nice one

They were truly evil. Every single one of them in that school.

What a bitch.

Interesting, actually, that quite a few posts involve teachers who obviously held grudges against children. Awful. I had one. Mrs Jones. I was 7, day of school trip to a museum, everyone excited, she decided to start the day by making me stand up in front of the class while she told me off for forgetting to bring a plastic bag. Petty cow.

I was once charged £1 for a 'slab of tangy cheddar' in a chain burger bar but it was a plastic cheese slice - so none of the three v specific things it promised. Everyone at the restaurant ignored me so I complained to Trading Standards. They had to reprint all their menus throughout the whole national chain.
When I walked past them at the local shopping centre with my DC's, we used to read the new menu in the window and laugh and flip the bird. Classy.

They've gone out of business now. Probably unrelated.

I’ve never met a nice one

Most of my junior school teachers were pretty unpleasant and given to bullying. In 4th year, I had a very nice lady, who'd been a nun and jacked it in. She was firm, but kind and she really brought me on.

Unlike the nuns at my mother's and gran's schools, which made them decide not to bring us up as Catholic.

Mary O'Neill for deliberately slopping the syrup from peaches in syrup from school lunch down the back of my hair and clothes - and being one of the ring leaders that bullied me for the final two years of primary school and all of secondary school.

Another Mary - ex boss - who called me in for a meeting when I was on sick-leave with a Drs note, getting over Chemo to tell me I'd better be back the following week or they'd take someone else on to do my job so when I came back there'd be nothing for me to do. And for blaming me in my exit interview for not getting a report done on time when the paper work clearly showed that I'd done the bit I was meant to do and it was someone else's responsibility to finish the report - but they'd gone on leave so I did it in order to get it finished rather than waiting for them to get back 2 weeks later...

And DS's teachers in Year One that taught my marvellous, interested, intelligent child that he was crap at writing - because he couldn't write as well as the stories that they'd read him that they wanted him to rewrite so he thought he couldn't do it and was kept in over breaks to finish the allotted number of sentences. He's in Year 13 and he still thinks he can't write thanks to them. They also thought he didn't like fiction and sent him home with the most boring non-fiction books when in actual fact he was reading great fiction books at home very happily.

Yes! I am so glad it isn’t just me.

The dog down the road from the school that only chases our car with an evil look on his face. I’ve seen him ignore all the other cars as he lies outside his house, then he sees us and off he goes!!

Billie fucking Piper. I auditioned for a tv show once back in my (Saturdays only I wasn't fully fledged) stage school brat days and it came down to me and Billie Piper. In the end they decided to go with Billie because she was over 18 (the show had one very mild scene of a sexual nature and I was 17 but bloody hell this was before Skins was on tv so at the time was considered quite a poor excuse by my agent and there were dark whisperings about Who Billie Knew due to her links with Chris Evans etc)

Anyway, off the back of that show she then booked Dr Who. Basically if she hadn't STOLEN MY PART it could have been me going on adventures with the lovely David Tennant every week.

Absolutely livid to this day 😂

Brittany Ferries. Threw out my favourite black cardi that I absolutely know I left behind in my cabin by mistake. I sometimes have to use them but I make sure I take my own food etc and never pay a penny onboard. B....y Brittany ferries.

I’ve a list of folk, that is far too long to count, that I wish sudden and very public diarrhoea on. Add to it most weeks 😂

Back from a family funerall today. So here's the grudge. My sister for saying I took money off my father for 18 years when he cost us £200k.i couldn't work, I was self employed so I couldn't fit 18 hours days in. She was giving it all that at the funeral service today. But I see you Louise (to those who hate Louise , I am there for you sister), but you know I don't hold a real grudge against her, I am a nice person, my brother was a top man. But if you hurt my children I will hunt you down fuckers! Good evening. X

Righteous fury.

Nothing weird about us

@stayathomer 😂😂😂😂best one!!

Some of these posts were horrific. I'm so sorry people have been treated so badly by people :(

I don't really hold grudges, but I certainly don't forget!! Here are some:

-My school bullies. A couple of years after finishing school (i.e. I finished going to school, not that I went to a "finishing school"!), one of them came up to me, and was all friendly (like we were long lost mates). I told her how crap she made me feel, and how much I dreaded school because of her. To be fair, she did apologise.

-A teacher I had at secondary school. I spent the early part of my childhood abroad. We came to UK, and I went to a private school (you had to have an interview and pass entrance exams to get in there), as it followed a similar curriculum to the IS I'd gone to back home. I went to a grammar school in starting in Yr 9 (I sat entrance exam/had interview and passed both, but the school also went by the CE grades I got, and the school report from my Headmaster). That teacher had it in for me from when I started. I was a conscientious student, always respectful to teachers and always worked hard at school. The teacher was fab with other students but hideous to me. She used to ridicule me in class because I'd committed the crime of not sitting the 11+ exams (and that made me a target for some bullying). She implied that I was only there because of my Dad buying my place there (WTF?! that wouldn't have even been an option, and rightly so). She turned a subject I loved into one I hated (she taught our class up to Yr 11). Years later, my eldest sat the 11+. I checked the staff lists for the local grammar schools, and found she was still teaching at one of them. I didn't put that one down as an option, as I didn't want her anywhere near my DC.

I can never understand why teachers could be so awful to pupils. I'm in my 40's now, and remember all my teachers (I was lucky, they were mainly brilliant, and I'm still in touch with many even now). I have never forgotten this particular teacher though, and when I saw her name on the staff list, I felt sick.

-an ex that I dated years ago. Nice as pie to anyone he wasn't dating. An abusive, nasty POS to anyone he was dating. I'm so glad I got out of that, and I pity the person he's with now. He hasn't changed. Still blames the world for his issues.

-workplace bully for many years ago. Hideous, toxic cow. She was in my then manager's pocket and he turned a blind eye to her antics and shit. Several people left because of her. I retrained to a different career because of her (actually, I love what I do now, so that's a silver lining).

-XH. Long story, but the way he and OW behaved towards me when my lovely Dad died, I'll never forget. He came crawling back months later begging for another chance, I told him to sling his hook.

-XH's OW, ditto. She was meant to be my friend too. I had the last laugh though: they split some months later, and she came crying to me and looking for support. From me...after she had knowingly gone with my then H, and then treated me like shit. I told her what I thought of her.

Yes. I have a grudge against them too. They refused to speak to us about our mortgage when DH and I were both made redundant at the same time. All the advice was speak to your lender before you can't pay. But several times we tried to speak with them, they told us to go away and come back when we were in arrears. The stress made me ill. I've despised them ever since and wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

Many years ago when on a Guides residential trip, one of the activities was to think of as many types of fruit as we could, for each letter of the alphabet. My father grew soft fruit in his garden, so I was pleased to add "Loganberry" to my patrol's list. At the end, they compiled them all into one giant alphabetical list and what did they have under "L"? Lemon, and nothing else. The leaders refused to believe loganberry was a fruit and wouldn't give us a point for it! It's been 3 decades, and I still seethe whenever loganberries are mentioned. Fruit philistines.

Ooh, you've reminded me of a pub quiz, in 2001. There was a tie breaker, "Who did the theme from Shaft?"

Why, Mack Brown and the Brothers, course. A.K.A. Isaac Hayes. I was told it was wrong and went home, got the album and showed it to the quiz master.

^Don't care, it's not on my sheet, so you're wrong."
